English-Speaking Fitness trainers in Lisbon

I started working with Tiago after trying his group classes at my gym because his workouts were well planned and he is calm and quietly motivational, not shouty. We trained once a week from around December or January until June, and he taught me to use equipment I would never touch like the sled, wrote me a personal workout plan in Excel for non-session days, and talked through nutrition. I wanted to lose weight and get stronger, and he kept me going through the gloomy winter, super organized, on time, and easy to coordinate with on WhatsApp, even coming in on what should have been his day off. Price felt fair, and I liked that he really knows the science of how the body works, which made our sessions make sense.

I started working with Rui as a personal coach at fitness center Holmes Place and ended up staying with him for about half a year. I really like him, he takes into account all the needs, especially that it was important for me not to overload my back, so he looked for alternative exercises that would not overload it so much but still work the necessary muscles. He asked about my goals and health, wrote everything down in a questionnaire, added the workouts in the app, and always kept in touch about free slots. It is a bit expensive, i think more because of Holmes Place, but overall I am completely satisfied with our interaction.

I was looking for a personal trainer after I arrived in Portugal, and I contacted Nicola after seeing her advert. She sounded lovely, came and gave me an assessment, and we’ve been working together ever since. She got exactly what I was after, strength and conditioning, and puts together a program every week with slightly different exercises. I have definitely noticed an improvement in the tone of my arms and my general fitness, and I think the price feels fair for the service she provides.
